To mark the first anniversary of the tragic train derailment in Lac-Mégantic, Quebec that caused an explosion and killed 47 people, the Bibliothèque et Archives nationales du Québec has posted a few historical photos and postcards. Ironically, this town prospered because of the rail line. The photos are available here. Click on the images to enlarge them.
